If this guy wasn't such a pretentious, hipster ass clown...if he didn't start the video off by telling the viewer that they don't give a fuck about Superman even if they think they did...if he didn't get so much stuff wrong....if he didn't try to mix parody with making a big, important statement...if he didn't sit there with a fucking drink in his hand acting like he knows everything...if he didn't talk down to the audience...if it wasn't so freaking insulting I could laugh it off. But it was all of those things and I can't and won't get past that.
I understand that other people find it funny. That's fine. I have to make my peace with that. But once again Superman is the whipping boy of pop culture and frankly I am tired of it.
